Smile Re: Economy vs. Economics

Pat, This is very well stated, I HAD been a member of NHRA since 1959 but am not now. As a former track operator Greenville Dragway, very small but NHRA sanctioned and proud of it and a racer for 50 years I say you are on the right trail but I think you have always been on as a Track Owner, as I watched you and your racers at the Bracket Finals and everbody was HAPPY and that is good. Thanks J.Smith 4621 racing

The voice of logic and reasonable thinking. Now if the people that need to hear it most would only listen.

Thank you Mr. Joffrion.




Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.

RIP Mark Graham

In the new advance economics we see that big companies increase the prices, pad their pockets, and then when the company shuts down, no skin off their ***, they have made their money. I'm sure the guys that run NHRA could care less if drag racing dies as long as their personal finances increase.

You folks are a bit slow.... when it comes to catching on to NHRA's game.... NHRA doesnt want us.... There are no Average Joes racing in Nascar... soon if you are not a multi millonaire you will not race NHRA. NHRA wants to be like Nascar.... Mark my words...I hate to say it but soon I can say... "I Told You So"
Wake up & smell the coffee!! They have not done anything to increase membership in the lower ranks....
Hell they tried to sell out the company to a group of insiders that were not gonna take the stockers...
Did you folks fail to catch on??? None are so blind as those that refuse to see...Im not a "The world is gonna end sign toter" but Im not blind to the you are not really welcome but we will tolerate you untill we can dump you program that NHRA currently runs.
